KAREN MILLEN Belted wool-blend coat
Establishing her eponymous high street label in 1981, tailored outerwear for all occasions has long been the mission of Karen Millen. This long line coat is cut from a soft wool-blend and fastens with concealed buttons and waist ties. Draw attention to the oversized notch lapels with an embellished shirt collar, or alternatively a leather mini dress.
BURBERRY Amberford shell trench coat
Established in 1856, Burberry boasts a mission statement synonymous with Britain. Renowned for its exemplary outerwear, the brand imbues its heritage detailing into the creation of the Amberford trench coat. Only instead of using its famed waxed cotton to create its double-breasted silhouette, shell is favoured, resulting in a layer that’ll deny rainy spells. Belted at the waist and equipped with pockets, the classic check lines the interior.
BALMAIN Double-breasted wool and cashmere-blend jacket
Keeping up the house’s signature military-inspired aesthetic, Olivier Rousteing cuts this Balmain jacket to a double-breasted silhouette studded with gold-toned buttons that display the label’s iconic coin motif. Shaped from pure wool flecked with hints of super-soft cashmere, the sleek silhouette falls to knee-length – perfect for layering over mini dresses or wide-leg trousers. Temper the peak lapels by leaving it half-fastened.
